Two men have been spotted in Banbridge using a skimming device on an ATM machine to steal people's money.

It happened shortly before 1pm yesterday at Tesco on the Castlewellan Road.

Police say one person reported having technical bother with the machine. 

However, moments after he left, the two suspects approached the machine and appeared to remove a device from it, along with the cash.

The PSNI is unsure of how many people used the same machine or how many victims there may be.
